Objective: To prepare auto-tumor-specific cytotoxicity T lymphocytes (CTLs) of breast cancer patients and to observe their therapeutic effects on bone marrow micrometastasis (BMM) of breast cancer. Methods: BMM in 82 patients with primary breast cancer (stage Ⅰ to Ⅲ) , who were treated in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Hebei Medical University from March to December in 2007 (all the patients signed paper of informed consent), was exmined by flow cytometryusing CK18 and CK19 as marker. Twenty-three patients with BMM were randomly divided into two groups: 17 patients were treated with tumor-specific CTLs (therapy group), and 6 patients were treated with IL-2 (control group). Tumor-specific CTLs were induced in vitro from axillary lymph nodes and peripheral blood of breast cancer patients in ther-apy group, and were reinfused into the same patient 10-14 days after operation. The therapeutic effects of tumor-specific CTLs on BMM of breast cancer patients were observed. Results: Twenty-three cases (28.05%) in 82 breast cancer patients were BMM positive as detected by FCM. BMM positive rates increased with the increase of clinical TNM stages and histological grades of breast cancer, and decreased with the increase of ER and PR protein expression in cancer tis-sues. Dendritic cells (DCs) were successfully isolated and induced from the peripheral blood of breast cancer patients. Tumor-specific CTLs were induced by co-culturing lymphocytes from axillarey lymph nodes with auto-tumor antigen-im-pulsed DCs. Fourteen cases in the therapy group became negative of BMM after treatment with tumor-specific CTLs (14/ 19, 82.35%). Only one case in the control group became negative of BMM after treatment with IL-2 (1/6, 16.67%, P=0.00028). Conclusion: Tumor-specific CTLs have been successfully prepared and they show a satisfactory therapeu-tic effect on bone marrow micrometastasis of breast cancer.

Calorie restriction refers to a dietary regimen low in calories without malnutrition.During the recent 70 years,the benefit of calorie restriction regimen has been explored extensively.Work in widely diverse species,from model organism to rodents even human beings,has demonstrated that calorie restriction is an effective nutritional intervention for retarding aging and preventing chronic diseases.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the common techniques in molecular biology, which can amplify nucleic acids through the cycle of denaturation, annealing and extension. Based on the principle of common PCR, rapid PCR is to realize the amplification of nucleic acids in less time without affecting the specificity, sensitivity and fidelity of the reaction. A lot of research work in this field has been going on in recent years. This article will make a review of the development of rapid PCR with emphases on the improvement of DNA polymerase, the choice of additives and the improvement of thermocyclers.

Objective To investigate the stability of lumbar column after limited selective posterior rhizotomy(LSPR) and observe the healing of exscinded laminae and the deformation of lumbar column. Methods One hundred and twenty five children with spastic cerebral palsy were divided into six groups(A, B, C, D, E, F)according to the age(

Objective To analyze the clinical features of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer, and provide scientific basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods The clinical data of 87 patients of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer and 105 patients of Hashimoto thyroiditis were retrospectively analyzed. Results The rates of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer in age <30, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and≥60 years were 1/3, 47.5%(29/61), 51.4%(38/74), 36.0%(18/50) and 1/4. The rates of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer in patients of age 30-39 years and 40-49 years were higher than that in patients of age ≥60 years, but there were no statistical differences (χ2=0.327 and 0.418, P>0.05). There were statistical differences in total thyroxine (TT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) levels between Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer and Hashimoto thyroiditis, there were statistical differences (P<0.05 or <0.01). Multiariable Logistic regression analysis result showed that the decreased serum level of TT4 and the increased levels of TSH, TgAb and TPOAb were the correlated factors of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer (P<0.05 or <0.01). Conclusions Low level of TT4 and high levels of TSH, TgAb and TPOAb may increase the risk of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer. The 30-49 years male patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis should be highly suspected of the possibility of merger thyroid cancer.

Objective To know the problems of reference factors,and then provide evidences for scientific and specific identifying index system for students from poor families.Methods Questionnaires were used among 719 students from poor families.Results There were 86.0％ families whose earnings were lower than 410 RMB per month.57.2％ families depended on agriculture.70.1％ students were from the rural areas.Family member number was 4～6 for the majority ( 70.7％ ).91.2％ ( 94.5％ ) fathers'( mothers' ) education levels were under high middle school.64.0％ ( 67.3％ )fathers ( mothers ) were farmers.The proportion of students having computers was 76.1％.61.2％ students' life was not frugal.There were 80.9％ students who thought campus cards shouldn't be monitored.Conclusion Family economic situation should be the key indicator.Most of the basic family information could be reference factors.Basic situation of students at school was inappropriate to be reference factors.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that the reason of the slower liver regeneration in individuals of cirrhotic liver after partial hepatectomy compared with healthy liver may be related to the delayed synthesis and secretion of hepatocyte growth factor during liver regeneration, but the cause of this phenomenon is not clear. The hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor found in recent years can indirectly inhibit the activation of hepatocyte growth factor, but there is little research to explore the expression of hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor in the regeneration process after partial hepatectomy in cirrhotic liver and its relationship with the liver regeneration. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitors (HAI-1, HAI-2) during cirrhotic and normal liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy through establishing the cirrhotic rat model, and to explore the biological effects of HAI-1, HAI-2 in cirrhotic liver during the liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. METHODS:We used 40%CCl4 subcutaneous injection to establish the cirrhotic rat model, then we performed 70%liver resection for the experimental group. The rats in the control group only received ordinary water feeding and 70%liver resection. Rats in each group were randomly sacrificed before surgery and at 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery, and samples were col ected. We used RT-PCR technology to detect the expression of HAI-1 mRNA, HAI-2 mRNA in splenic tissue. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expression levels of HAI-1 mRNA of two groups after partial hepatectomy were increased firstly and then decreased. The expression of HAI-1 mRNA in cirrhotic rats was sustained higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), there was no significant difference between the two groups of the expression of HAI-2 mRNA (P>0.05). The expression of HAI-1 mRNA in liver cirrhosis rats after resection was consistently higher than that in healthy rats, which may lead to the insufficient synthesis and secretion of hepatocyte growth factor activator in cirrhotic rats, then hepatocyte growth factor precursor may not be activated enough, eventual y leading to slow liver regeneration. HAI-2 may not be involved in the wound repair process of liver.
